The libraries under threat were announced by Sheffield Council and a public consultation on the plans begins next month.

The move would spell the loss of 75 full-time or equivalent jobs.

If proposals are given the green light the council will continue to run 11 libraries in Chapeltown, Crystal Peaks, Darnall, Ecclesall, Firth Park, Highfield, Hillsborough, Parson Cross, Stocksbridge, Woodseats and Manor along with the Central Library.
